There is a threefold order, or there are three parts of the study of Divinity: The first is a Catechetical institution, 1or a summary and brief explication of Christian doctrine, and the chief general points thereof, which is called Catechism. This part is necessary for all men, because both the learned and unlearned ought to know the foundation of Religion.2 The second is an handling of Common places; or Common places, which contain a larger explication of every point, and of hard questions, together with their definitions, divisions, reasons, and arguments.
